Oiks,

My bad. I see what you mean. Same trap.

undersea cable?

 

Sorry,

Where did he say it was from New York?

I think it could have legs. I don't see it as widely different to NBNco
building satellites, in terms of their infrastructure spread.

"I've often said, if the international market doesn't improve, for $250
million out of a budget of $40 billion dollars, I'll build an extra pipe
between here and the US to drive prices down," 
he told attendees of the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information conference
in New York this week.


So he is going to build a under-sea cable from New York to the US?
This is our Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy.
Sigh.
